The enemas I've had have all contained various stuff to encourage going, soften things up and lubricate.

I don't think you're suggesting that a constipated person should hot foot it to their local garage?

Ouch. And yeah, once it's time to go and it's already hard - you're a little stuffed. An old-fashioned treatment used to be rolling a cannon-ball on your belly to physically break it up... I sometimes wonder if something along those lines i.e. physical rather than medicinal would work.
Would muscle relaxant e.g. amyl nitrate help, anyone reckon... widen the tunnel...
